About this product
This is an original HP 61 black ink cartridge, specifically compatible with HP DeskJet 1000 and 1010 printers. The product is a genuine HP cartridge, indicating its authenticity and expected compatibility with specified models. However, it carries a significant caveat: it expired in April 2013, making it well past its recommended use-by date.
Our take
While getting an original HP 61 black ink cartridge sounds appealing, the expiration date of April 2013 is a major concern. At $12, it's a risk to purchase ink that's over a decade past its prime. Genuine HP ink is typically reliable, but once it's expired for this long, the ink can dry out, clog printer heads, or produce very poor print quality. It's compatible with older models like the DeskJet 1010, which suggests someone might still need it, but the age of the product makes it a very speculative purchase with a high chance of disappointment.
